Before the NHL trade deadline on Friday at 1 p.m. MT, the Avalanche made major additions to their roster. The Avalanche front office, led by General Manager Chris MacFarland and President of Hockey Operations Joe Sakic, made four trades in less than a week.

The Blueshirts agreed to a trade Saturday to send defenseman Ryan Lindgren, forward Jimmy Vesey and the rights to unsigned 2021 draft pick Hank Kempf to the Avalanche in exchange for center Juuso Parssinen and veteran defenseman Calvin de Haan.

Where Lindgren fits on the depth chart, and how he performs in what will likely be a different role than in New York, could be a case study for future player evaluation. Lindgren has spent most of his 5-on-5 ice time next to Adam Fox on New York’s top pairing, over the past several seasons.

The Rangers parted ways with two of their veterans on Saturday, as they defenseman Ryan Lindgren and winger Jimmy Vesey to Colorado in a deal with the Avalanche.

The Blueshirts traded two of their pending UFAs in one deal, netting Juuso Parssinen, Calvin de Haan and two draft picks in return.

New York Rangers’ general manager Chris Drury made a lot of moves this season, trading away Kaapo Kakko, Filip Chytil, Jacob Trouba, Victor Mancini, Jimmy Vesey, and Ryan Lindgren while adding J.T.

The Rangers are four points out of a playoff spot and did not want to let pending unrestricted free agents walk for nothing.
